Popular Science News tells of young
physician just commencing practice who
was called to attend II child who had forced n
bean into its ear. Acting upon brilliant
inspiration, he attempted TO remove the for
eign body by Swinging the ear with water
The bean, absorbing the water swellcd to
double its natural size, and the effect upon
the child may bc better imagined than de
scrlbed. An older physician, called in "con-
sultation,' removed the Offending vegetable,
with the aid of harpin, in q fraction of n
minute, The moral to this anccdote may be,
that Old methods are sometimes the best.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.


Manners and Customs Tracticed In
Polite society.
The prevailing style in visiting cards is
marked lay the SEVERITY Of the lettering there
on, plain script being almost the only form
used. Young lalies, in fact ali unmarried
women, use cards three and half inches
long aud t."o inches wide The size for mar
vicd women is larger, measuring four inches
by two and half, Mems cards are very
small; three and fourth by one and a half
inches long, though slightly larger size may
DO used when the length of the name re-
quircs it.
On lady's card the address is engraved in
the lower right hand corner, and the recep-
ton day in the lower left hand corner
The title Mr., the first name in full md
sometimes the middle name, always appears
on mems cards.
A nearly square card finds favor with 4
few, but is on the whole little used.

ChiIdrcn-Hcmediesf for Various Ills.


Childrcn-Hcmediesf for Various Ills.
Regularity in tho hours OF feeding chill
dren should be observed. Do not hurry chill
dren through their meals or urge them to eat
more than the appetite Graves. Give plain
food, with few or no sweetmeats of any kind.
Children under or ~ years Of age require

one FOR the child provided it has been per-
severed in 10y parents or guardians from the

Battle children either in the morning or ut
night, giving preference to the former. Do
not lessen the vitality of little ones 10y allow
ing them to remain in the water long. Have

How u Woman Saws

When q woman her hone would decorate,
she stops not at obstacles, small on great;
nut the funniest ei,;!lt that her Efforts afford
Is when she performs with saw on a board.
With her knee on a plank, and the plank on Il
chair,
She poisCS her saw with n knowing air,
Makes several dives at the pcncilcd line,
And Is OF with q whiz the reverse Of lin
With lips compressed, She bends down 20 the
work,
And crosses the timber icrkcty-lerli;
She cant keep the line, and her knee slips askew,
But she Keeps to her work till the board splits in
two.
She has damaged the chair, she has ninci the
saw,
Her Ia, q, is ali aching, her hands, TOO, ar" raw,
And ST.. Guis, when TO 1T now the plank She
tri.s.
1t falls an inch short Of the requisite siza.

Treatment OF Hang Nails.

Hang nails are due to adhesion of the skin
to the root of the nail, being in reality loose
pieces of skin. On the first appearance of
this annoyance, soften the skin in hot water
and push ii gently back with piece of ivory,
bone or wood, cutting off all the foreign
pieces. Am attempt to shove back this skin
while dry and h'Td m5Grp, !, aud is q prolific
cause Of hang nails.

An old bedroom mating was recently
made to LOOK very pretty, says Demorest, by
tearing inch wide strips Of blue and white
ticking lengthwise, folding them under and
lacking them, about four inches apart, over
the entire floor. This was done with small
mating tacks The effect was very pretty.
The room was hung with blue and white, and
was voted tue prettiest in the entire cottage.

AT TUE CROSSING.

See her lift her dainty feet
As she steps across the steet,
While just a glimpse of silken hose ar-
pears;
How she deity keeps her skirt
From trailing in the dirt
And all the pools aud puddles neatly clears
There's momeDiary trace
Of a cloud of filmy lace,
Which floats beneath the margin OF her
dress;
Ert the breezes seem TO know
As they quickly cease to blow,
That the damsel swings a signal of distress
Her glowing looks betray,
As sue treads her muddy way,
An inward qualm lest something may be
wrong;
But her figure, trim and neat,
Goes tripping down the street
And soon is lost amid the busy throng.
IS. T. O., in Dakota Bel.

The Baltimore and Ohio Deal.

The Baltimore and Ohio deal is again agi-
tating Wall street, but nothing definite with
regard to it has reached the public. There
are several stories afoat. One of them is
that Mr. Ives, of the firm of Ives and Stay
nor, who hold an option on the property,
has offered the Baltimore and Ohio tele-
graph line TO Mr.. Gould for 81, OOO, 900. Both
Mr. Gould and Mr.. Ives deny that there is
any truth in this story. Another story is
that Mr.. Garrett has become tired of renew
ing Mr. Ives option, and has threatened to
sell the securities which are pledged TO make
il good. Mr.. Ives objects to this and
threatens Mr.. Garrett with lawsuit. How
much truth there is in this statement no one
seems to know Mr. Gould is reported as
saying that the deal is progressing favora-
bly,, and that all the facts with regard to it
will soon be made public.
The public would certainly'like to know
the true inwardness of this Baltimore and
Ohio matter. 1t is pretty certain that about
all the stories which have been circulated
with regard to 1t have originated with par
ties who know little or nothing about it,
Beyond the fact that Messrs. Ives and Stay
nor have an option on the Baltimore and
Ohio property nothing with regard to the
deal is known with certainty. 1t has been
several months since the deal was first an
nounced, and the general opinion in Wall
street appears TO be that it is
about time for it to be concluded
| When 1t was first talked about
Mr.. Gould claimed TO have nothing to do
with it, but at present he not only appears
TO be well informed with respect TO it but
also to be in some way connected with it. 1t
would not be at all surprising if the
property should finally pass into his posses
sion. He appears to have more ready money
than anybody else, and the Baltimore and
| Ohio is certainly q very desirable property.
